instant, a net force results and the smoke
particle will move in the direction of the force.
The imbalance and the resulting force cause
the smoke particles to change direction rapidly

b They will move faster. [1]

rebounding from the walls of the container produce
a force and hence a pressure on the walls. [2]

more frequent and more violent collisions

work out the temperature rise of the metal, ΔT.
Measure the mass of the metal, m. Equate energy

then move the compass so that the S pole is at
